Briar and Isaac were a fun, easy-going couple. They were totally excited about their engagement session, which I love. We hit up the West Side of Manhattan, walking along the river and weaving in and out of some cool streets downtown. I think I captured their energy, enthusiasm, and general love for each other. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding now! Check out some of the photos:
While most posts here are going to be from my shoots, I just had to share this wedding video I saw posted on twitter… probably the best ceremony entrance I’ve ever seen!
oh man…that is frikin awesome!!! thanks for posting!
great work
What a great couple! That wedding looked like such a great time, exactly how it should be.
I watch frequently your website because I love so much your photography…but this… wow… I laugh all the time!! Awesome… really really funny 
Thank for posting

So this wedding for me was remarkable in that it was my first Pakistani wedding I’ve ever shot. The intricate design of the Sunila’s accessories and henna just blew me away. She was such a beautiful bride and enthusiastic about the photos. It was a pleasure to photograph the entire thing; the dancing, the laughter, and the food (love me some Pakistani food). I have to say that I’ve never seen anything like the ending ceremony at a wedding before. Check out the photos and I’ll tell you more about it when you scroll to the bottom.
This was the last photo I took of the night. In Pakistani weddings, the bride is brought outside to leave with the groom, in a way ending her relationship with her family. The practice I assume dates back thousands of years when a bride might travel a long distance to be with her husband and might not see her parents and siblings for a long time, so it can be very emotional..the ties to her family are severed and although today this is probably not the case for most Pakistani brides (with ease of transportation), the longstanding practice still carries a great amount of emotion, which poured out from everyone at the wedding..it was quite a moment with tears and strong, grasping hugs… quite beautiful.
Dan thank you so much for capturing our wedding day with such beautiful pictures! We really enjoyed working with you and will cherish our pictures for a lifetime.
Regards,
Sunila and Samer
Nice pics Dan specially the description of the last moments it’s awesome.
Beautiful pictures! I love how the intricate details of the clothes and jewelry are displayed so well. It’s hard to believe that you haven’t covered a Pakistani wedding before. These pictures, especially the last one, really captured the essence of a Pakistani wedding.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the last photograph! beautiful wedding overall 
Looking smooth, dude!
Awesome pics!! You look beautiful Sunila!
This was a well put together collage depicting the nuances of a Pakistani wedding. The brief comments were effective in communicating the uniqueness of the event as well. Excellent job!
The pictures have come out amazing! Look like something out of a magazine!
All these pictures have a feeling of that particular moment embedded in it. The picture, in which Sunila is holding a bouquet, could be posted as a magazine cover. Well done.
Great shots, I love the bokah on the portrait of the bride, and love the shot of everyone dancing, you’ve captured the atmosphere really well!
Joan M – WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amazing Wedding Pictures.
Your work is Outstanding. You were able to capture the essence of Sunila and Samer’s special day. Each photo came to life. I love how each photo told a special and wonderful story without a single word. You did a brilliant job in capturing the special feelings of love, joy, happiness, fun, laughter, tears and cheers. The colors and the background along with the beautiful and handsome couple — magnificent! Continued success to you.

What a nice Wedding i love that types of wedding
Nicework man good keep it up.
I wanted to start my blog with one of my favorite weddings that I’ve ever shot. I was lucky enough to meet this couple here in NYC and travel down to Rosemary Beach, Florida to cover their wedding. I even brought Jordana with me and made it a little mini-vacation, staying a few extra days.
The weekend included a home cooked Indian meal at their friends house, a beach bbq/roast for the couple, and a gorgeous wedding on a sun soaked white sand beach. There was a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and a New Orleans jazz band leading the wedding procession from the beach to the reception area. It was like a nonstop party.
What an incredible opportunity for a photographer located in New York City to do a destination wedding like this.. Thank you JB and Sherr! Enough talk…here’s some photos:
Great Blog. This will really make for a nice showcase of your amazing work. You are going to take NYC wedding photography by storm!
Daniel’s pictures say all that needs to be said about his talent.
I am happy to also recommend him for his professionalism and personality. There is an intimacy you establish with a wedding photographer; Daniel is someone you would want to spend time with.
Thanks again for the great job.
Jb.
